This was the first official anime I ever watched. Circa 2007. Official because I knew that this was an anime, not your normal cartoon. Well, I used to watch Pokemon, Card captor Sakura, Samurai X, Sailor Moon, etc. but had no idea that I was watching an Anime already!
Anyway, let's talk about Fruits Basket! I bought a DVD copy of this with English Dub. But since I only bought the copy @ 888 Chinatown, some episodes were missing, so I searched for an anime streaming websites (I've forgotten the exact website but let me share a different one: Animestream) so that I can continue where I began, and watched it again in Japanese Language w/ English Sub realizing that watching Anime is 100x better in Japanese language than in English.
The anime was very child friendly (if you know what I mean) and I used to like Yuki for Tohru as a child but after five years have passed, I started reading the manga (but this is not the first manga I've read) and totally shipped Tohru and Kyo!! And this picture below here is perfect!! Reading the manga made it clearer why they keep on turning into zodiac animals etc. But the downside for this is my childhood ship between Tohru and Yuki sank because *SPOILER ALERT* (LOL i need to do that though) ... because he sees her as a mother figure. (MOTHERZONE haha, not friendzone)
I think this is a very good anime/manga.
Story is definitely 10/10.
Art uhmm 9/10
(How dare I rate it 9 I'm not even
good at Drawing!! Oh well,
for the sake of this review then)
Characters 10/10
I recommend you to watch the Anime first so that you won't have high expectations and if you want to see a closure of the story after watching it, that's the time you read the manga.
